Fear What Lurks In The Shadows

The desolate streets of downtown Pittsburgh in 2073 are a reminder of the missile attack that forever changed the lives of the surviving scientists and students hidden in the fallout shelter of Helmsby’s Genetic Research Center. Believing themselves to be the only survivors, they station themselves inside the center until food supplies near depletion. Thinking the fallout has lessened, they emerge three years later to discover strange creatures patrolling the streets in search of human flesh and blood. The creatures possess the ability to shift their genomes and alter their appearances by realigning their genetic sequences. Daniel Hutchinson, their leader, teams with Lucas Ridale and together they set out to scavenge the area for food and supplies with the hope to find other survivors. But Daniel’s most recent journey uncovers mysteries more frightening than the shifters. He discovers the tip of Pittsburgh has been fenced off from the rest of the area. Low-flying helicopters observe the streets, making him ponder the question: Were the shifters released as simply part of a military experiment with humans being their prey?

My Thoughts: Its the year 2075 in Philly..  And Im nervous, a chill down in my bones, and having nightmares… That is just where this book will leave you.

Hilley told an outstanding sci-fil thrilling story filled with corruption lies and shifters. Shifters are the beasts that walk around killing anyone or thing that comes there way. This is a story like “Resident Evil” and “I am legend” with an erotic characteristic.  Beware of the animals in the darkness, they crave sex too.. and the sex is something that you would die for. Litterally.. Perfectly mixed.

This is for adults though, many scenes of rape… But I loved it!

I truly enjoyed Predators of darkness. And Im excited to know that this is the first of 3 different stories. so there is way.. way more to find out and to happen. .. Where could he go next?

It had a slow start for me I had to get used to the “beasts” who were Cats called shifters.. These shifters can actually “shift” into many different forms. (Trying not to tell the story) And I wasn’t to fond of them..But once I kept reading I got caught up in the world of the shifters.

And then there was Daniel, good ole’ save the day Daniel.. Now if it were not for the corruption, gut wrenching action, and sex.. I would have not liked Daniel. He did a lot of crying and figures he falls in love.. But wait till you see the love affair…

Can you beleive some of the actions that are taken by our government? Selling products to both sides of the fights.. For example Korea selling arms to the US and Iraq (that was an example, not a politcs person.. if that is called politics) I am disgusted with that. Gosh we are all killing each other!!

Back to the story..

So I can’t wait to find out what really happened and why. Who would stoop to this level and what will happen to Philly? The lingering ending tied perfectly into this story.

I have to give this one 4.5 Chocolate strawberries. You will be taken for a ride.  If you can get past the beginning it is truly a good story. Very well written.
Its a first of its kind for me to read.. Scifi-Thriller but Hilley is an author to keep reading.

This story also had some Kick-Ass action. Oh man, with bombs blowing up and the cutting off the shifters heads… Hilley’s imagination has you so caught up in the year 2075.

After leaving the movie theaters watching movies where the world ends, I always leave a little on edge.. HIlley did just that.. left me leaning over the edge…
